Visualization

During my entire contest prep, I would visualize every workout before doing it. I would see myself succeeding on every rep and every set and mentally plan the whole workout.

It got me excited and gave me a clear, defined goal that I wanted to accomplish during each workout.

After a while though, I felt a little burnt out and decided to just go train.

I've recently reverted back to visualizing the workout and I believe it has helped immensely.

Some things I've noticed are an increased ability to focus and greater intensity and confidence. It's like I've already done it.

I also reminds myself of my goals for the workout and for the year before going to train.

Today, it made for a good leg day.
